INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALL THE SYSTEM

FOR A PERFECT APPLICATION AND PERFORMANCE OF DRIVE 700 SYSTEM IT IS RECOMMENDED TO KEEP TO THE INSTRUCTIONS
AND THE DIAGRAMS IN THIS MANUAL.

IMPORTANT

:THE INSTALLATION IS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED TECHNICAL PEOPLE IN COMPLIANCE WITH EN 12453 - EN

12445 SAFETY NORMS AND 98/37/EC MACHINE DIRECTIVE.

GENERAL FEATURES

DRIVE 700 is an electro-hydraulic mechanism, part of which to be fitted under the ground while the motor pump unit is external and
separately fitted, to operate single or double swinging gates. Recommended gate weight is 700 kg per gate.
The two basic versions allow rotation angles of 110 and 175 degrees respectively. Both versions are also available in different options,
as follows:

non locking

(an electric lock is recommended to be fitted to the gate/s);

locking

where the gates are

hydraulicaly

locked

in any required position by DRIVE 700 in either directions of movement ie. opening or closing;

Braking on Opening and Closing, non

Braking

; and eventually they can be

fitted with a flow regulator

to control and keep constant the speed of the gates during the rotation

movements.

IMPORTANT

: All the above models of DRIVE 700 imply that the gates are fitted with an electric lock in case they are wider than 2 meters.

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION OF THE GATE CONDITION

Before going on fitting DRIVE 700 it is recommended to carry out the following:
- Make sure that the gate structure is adequate to be electrically operated: check that all the metallic parts, if any, are all right and

do not show deformation, strengthen possible weak points and inspect the hinges to be in perfect good condition without any friction
points etc.

- No obstacle is to interfere with the gate travel: make sure that the ground in the area of the gate movement is levelled.
- The gates are to be well built, mounted straight and aligned.
-

IMPORTANT: Gate stops are to be provided and firmly fixed in the required open and closed gate positions. Verify solidity before
operating the system.

FITTING THE JACK

- Dig a hole in the ground at the gate foot, close to the gate post, as indicated in Pic. 3.

IMPORTANT: The dimensions indicated are in consideration that the hole has to be large enough to accomodate the jack, to fit the
two halves of the enclosure around it, and the piping between the jack and the external motor pump unit (read the section “installation
of the motor pump” on page 5).

- Set the

fixing base plate

with concrete at the bottom of the hole ie. 130 mm deep from ground level. Make sure that it is perfectly

straight and levelled as it is to take the

hydraulic jack

on to it and ensure that the shaft center and the top hinge center are aligned

on the same axis.

- Let the concrete set well around the

fixing base plate

so this can provide a firm setting to further operations (Pic.3).

PREPARING THE GATE

The gate to be operated must be prepared to take the DRIVE 700
mechanism. For a perfect performance of the system, it is most
important that the gate is hanged only by the top hinge whereas the
mechanism rotation shaft is to provide a seat for the gate and replaces
the lower hinge (Pic. 2).

IMPORTANT

: Ideally the gate hinge centre line should be approximately

65 mm away from the gate post surface line (Pic.2) With existing
gates, it is sufficiente that the DRIVE 700 jack, ie. the underground
mechanism, is positioned closed to the gate post in axis with the
centre line of the gate top hinge.

NOTE

: With existing gates, remove the lower hing and fit the shaft

ring in compliance with the indications provided on page 4, “Putting
the jacks in phase”.
